    Quinn are usually quite good.

    However, you will probably still pay an arm and a leg for insurance. I'd stick with a 1 litre or less sized engine.

    Q2. Have you a Full or prov licence?

    Try Quinns online quote but i've a feeling it won't quote you on line ...your probably looking at least 3500 i'd say and the rest depending on the status of your licence

    IMO 17 is pretty young to be driving, but thats just me.

    Curiousity got the better of me. I got a quote for a 1.2 corsa for a 17 M for 2605 thats pretty good.

    Im 18 and I payed €1850 on a 1.9...my own policy and I've a full licence obviously. No full year named driving experience either.

    Personally I'd never take out a policy with a provisional licence but some people dont have a choice I suppose

    I don't think posting your personal details on a public forum is a great idea, just post the quote

    2,600 is a lot!! Where does a 17 year old get that sort of money from!!! :eek:

    When i started with insurance in Ireland it was never that much, but then i was 20, and it was nearly 10 years ago. Dont know how anyone does it now, true mad prices...

    Im paying 200 on a 06 Audi S4 in Slovenia!!! :D

    Course you think that, but luckily for this chap the government along with many around the world decided that 17 ISNT too young to be driving.

    Nah,

    Going by that we could say the Americans are more responsible for having their drinking age at 21 and the Conto-Europeans are thick for having it at 16 ..
